LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Boeing officially ended production of the C-17 Globemaster III at its Long Beach facility with plans to deliver the last aircraft to the Qatar Emiri Air Force.
The facility's final aircraft will be held in Boeing's San Antonio location until it is delivered to Qatar in early 2016. While the facility in Long Beach, California will no longer be used to produce the planes, the company says it will continue Globemaster III support, maintenance, and upgrades to fleets worldwide.
